Is the career of Team India's 28-year-old bowler over? Ashwin gave a surprising statement.

Is Akash's test career over?
Akash Deep worked as the third fast bowler along with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj. But Akash failed to take wickets when needed. Now former spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has given a surprising statement about him. Ashwin said at the AWS AI Conclave 2025 in Bengaluru, 'This is an unfair world. Batsmen get the advantage, but bowlers do not. Akash Deep may not get a chance to play another Test, because he did not get enough wickets in Australia. But you will not find any batsman with whom this has happened.'
Akash's career was also affected by injury.
28-year-old Akash's career has also been affected by injuries. A BCCI official told a few days ago that ever since he started playing domestic cricket for Bengal in 2019, a back injury has been a cause of trouble for him. Expressing concern over his career, the BCCI official had said, 'At the age, Akash is at now if he is out of the playing eleven due to repeated injuries, then he may find it difficult to have a long international career.'
Only 15 wickets in 7 Tests
Akash has played only Test format for Team India so far. He started his Test career in the home series against England in the year 2024. So far, Akash has taken 15 wickets in 7 Tests. His best performance is 83/3. While his average is more than 35. Akash played two Tests in Australia (Brisbane and Gabba) in which he took 5 wickets.
